Chromatin
Linked via "nucleus"
Chromatin is the complex of DNA and proteins (primarily histones) that constitutes the genetic material within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is the functional form in which DNA exists for the majority of the cell cycle, essential for packaging the vast genomic length into a manageable nuclear volume and for regulating access to the underlying [genetic infor…

Post-Translational Modification and Conformational Stability
Once synthesized, polypeptides must fold into their three-dimensional native structures. This folding is largely directed by the sequence itself, guided by local hydrophobic interactions and electrostatic interactions. Chaperone proteins, such as the $\text{GroEL/GroES}$ system in some bacteria, assist this process. The [tertiar…
